  • a further system and method enabling a remote device to connect with a local computing device is described in U.S. Patent No. 5,892,432.
  • the method of creating a connection between a remote device and the base computing device commences with the remote device requesting communications with the base computing device using a wireless paging service.
  • the remote device generates a paging message that is transmitted by the wireless paging service and received by the control and activation device.
  • the control and activation device processes and interprets the paging message in order to activate the local computer.
  • the paging message includes a call-back number that is transferred from the control and activation device to the local computer.
  • the local computer dials the call-back number in order to establish a communication link with the remote device.
  • the local computer relinquishes control of the communication link to the remote device such that the information exchange can be initiated between the local computer and the remote device.
  • This technique of remote access requires an application program to be present on both the remote device and the local computing device in order to establish a communication link between said devices, thus the remote device requires minimum system requirements in order to implement this method.
  • European Patent Application No. 0972416 describes a system enabling a user wireless remote access to a variety of software functionalities residing within a local computer.
  • the remote device (user) generates control commands, which are wirelessly transmitted to a fixed radio part, which is directly connected to the local computer.
  • the fixed radio part processes the control commands and provides said commands to the local computer via a high speed serial bus.
  • An interface associated with the computer is responsive to the control commands and provides the remote • device access to the variety of software functionalities in response to the commands that have been transmitted.
  • This method of remote access of a computing device requires the direct connection of the remote device to the desired computing device. This connection is provided using a wireless link between the remote device and a radio fixed port which is in turn directly connected to the computing device in question.
  • Each of these remote access systems and methods require a direct communication link between the remote device and the local computing device and/or application software to be installed on the remote device in order to enable the remote device to access the functionalities of the local computing device.
  • This type of link may be difficult to create.
  • One reason for this could be the existence of a firewall that could prevent the connection.
  • Most standard firewalls would prevent such connections by default and, additionally, reconfiguration of the firewall to support such a remote connection would often require advanced skills on behalf of the user.
  • Another factor that could make this link difficult is the presence of a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server that dynamically allocates an IP address to the local computer on a periodic basis thus resulting in a change in the IP address of the local computer.
  • DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
  • DHCP is an Internet protocol for automating the configuration of computers that use Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).
  • TCP/IP is the method by which data on the Internet is divided into packets of bytes. Each packet is delimited with header information that includes the destination address where the packet is to be routed when it is transmitted over the Internet.
  • DHCP can be used to automatically assign IP addresses, to deliver TCP/IP stack configuration parameters such as the subnet mask and default router, and to provide other configuration information such as the addresses for printer, time and news servers.
  • DHCP is based on a client-server paradigm, in which the DHCP client, e.g. a desktop computer, contacts a DHCP server for configuration parameters.
  • the DHCP server is typically centrally located and operated by the network administrator.
  • the most important configuration parameter carried by DHCP is the IP address.
  • a computer must be initially assigned a specific IP address that is appropriate to the network to which the computer is attached, and that is not assigned to any other computer on that network. If a computer moves to a new network, it must be assigned a new IP address for that new network.
  • DHCP can be used to manage these assignments automatically. However, since DHCP causes the IP address of the local computer to change, it becomes difficult for the user to determine the IP address assigned to their local computer.
  • U.S. Patent No. 6,154,843 provides a secure remote access computing system for executing tasks on a secure private network requested by an unsecured remote computing device connected to the secure private network by way of a public communication network, without exposing any device in the secure private network other than a designated network interface device to the public communication network.
